SOLVED: 4.0 issue: When installing -virtual or -server packages, -generic is also installed

Hi all.
I am trying to install the new -server and -virtual packages on my machines (all running Ubuntu 8.04.2)
This worked fine on 3.5u2-u4, but now the installation seems also to depend on the generic kernel.
How can I get around this? I only want the -virtual package installed on some servers.
Here's a grab from the console:
root@server:~# aptitude install vmware-tools-nox vmware-open-vm-tools-kmod-virtual

Huh, this is very strange behavior from apt. Apparently the order of the packages matters to the package manager.
When you switch the packages on the command line, and use this command:
aptitude install vmware-open-vm-tools-kmod-server vmware-tools-nox
instead of this one:
aptitude install vmware-tools-nox vmware-open-vm-tools-kmod-server
you get the desired result, no generic kernel and no generic vmware packages:

Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

Good morning,
I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
thank you in advance
Best regards
Francesco

Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above:
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

Will re-install of System Solve "Getting "try again" when installing..."

Have yet to solve "Getting "try again" when installing software..." posted yesterday. Also note inability to perform Safe Boot. Will re-installation of System software (Tiger) restore the functions lost?
If I'm obliged to do this, any tips on how to: 1) preserve my Internet settings, including Bookmarks; 2)saved (not yet deleted) emails; and (3) my Address book? Where are they? how do I identify these files? Can I do some sort of backup before I go to Install?

For the convenience of others, here is the list to the other topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9414774#9414774
The basic problem appears to be disk directory corruption. It is very unlikely reinstalling the OS will cure that since you also appear to want to preserve all your files. In fact, reinstalling the OS might create more damage to your files since the computer has lost track of some of them and might just overwrite them not knowing they are there.
You either need to try to repair the directory using Diskwarrior (since DU apparently failed), or you need to wipe the drive (and all your files) then reinstall your OS. If doing the second option you should, of course, back up your data files first. However I can't help but feel when people mention backing up a damaged directory that your backups may be incomplete since, again, the computer has lost track of some parts of the files and may not make a complete copy. If I was in your situation, and could afford it, I'd go for getting a copy of Diskwarrior so you can actually repair your drive. If I couldn't afford it I would back up my data files, wipe the drive, then reinstall everything again from scratch, then copy the data files back on and keep my fingers crossed that none of them was part of the corruption.

Hello,
I'm having problems with my wireless network connections, too. I did a fresh arch install with gnome3 some days ago to avoid any issues when upgrading, but i just can't access any wireless networks now. Everything else works like a charm, though. I followed the usual steps to set up my network/wifi with all the required modules and packages (broadcom-wl from the AUR, etc.) but it doesn't work like it did with gnome2 and xfce4.
My iwconfig/ifconfig output looks like dave1022's. Don't know if this is of any help...
The nm-applet in the gnome3 "panel" actually lists nearby wireless networks, but once I click on one of them, gnome asks me for authentification with my root password (user password does not work). I don't think it should be this way. If I enter my root password here, nothing happens whenever I click on the concerned network to connect to it. I deleted the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<SSID> file to reset the authentification process.
I tried to consult the gnome3 pages in the wiki, but couldn't find any valueable hints either...does anyone have any idea what I might have done wrong or forgotten?
It's exactly the same for me and it's driving me nuts. I'm using iwl3945
[EDIT]
Well... actually installing the applet solved it for me. Is the applet actually needed for Gnome 3 or is a workaround?

Issues when installing SAP IK FP1 and FP2

Hi all,
has anybody installed the SAP IK 3.0 FP1 and FP2? If so, after installing it, were you able to load the cmc page and infoview page in internet explorer.
I get an error when typying the url:
Estado HTTP 404 - /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
type Informe de estado
message /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
description The requires resource (/PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do) is not available
Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
seems like the deploy of the applications did not run properly.
I have done it a couple of times and the same error.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks a lot

Hi Luis,
first a couple of things that you must take into account.
- I have installed the FP1 and FP2 just to see if I could an issue with the SAP IK. After doing that I realized that some things got
solved but other did not. So I uninstalled the FP.
- If you just need to install the FP to solve a different issue, you can try by leaving the service name blank (I have not tested that) or
if you fill that information, you can redeploy manually the PartnersPlaformService from tomcat. That way it works
I hope this helps

How to solve the noise issue when connecting an electric guitar?

Hello,
I own a 15'' MacBook Pro of early 2011, with Lion Mac OS X 10.7.2
I have an issue when connecting my electric guitar (Guitar Rig 4 LE) via USB & starting the Garageband '11 (ver. 6.0.4). I tried playing with the settings to get around the fuzziness/noise that's produced when the guitar is connected.
The original software I got with Guitar Rig 4 ALSO had a similar issue, but I solved it by turning down the ''Gate'' volume to get a clear guitar sound. I tried looking for a similar thing on Garageband but no luck. I'm taking the online lessons via Garageband, with all that noise it makes it even harder to learn.
Hope I made my case clear, and I'm looking forward for any suggestions in this technical problem I'm facing.
Cheers

Hey Keith, thanks for your response.
Well, to be honest I had no idea what that was, so I opened Garageband and looked for that option, and it seems I can't access it during the guitar lessons. I tried exiting the lessons to the main window but the option you talked about under the ''Track'' tab was still faded (i.e. inaccessible).
Did I misunderstand you or done it wrong?
The noise even gets WORSE when trying out the Rock Guitar lessons, not so bad on the Basic Guitar & Blues Guitar...
By the way, I did try the ''Aggregate'' Audio MIDI setup thingy from the utilities to enable both ''Built-in Output'' & ''USB PnP Sound Device (which is the guitar)" and didn't solve the problem.
Running out of options. Opt for surgery? haha jk

Issues when installing apps

I have issues when istalling apps that I purchased of free apps that end on *.sys. Can someone help me to determine? It downloads the app but when installing gives me an "installation error" message. I checked configurations and it should allow me to install any app on the phone. Any toughts? Any one that can help me, please? This is a Nokia N8.

Hello,
No this had never occured the same way in CS6, Other instances of this have occured with CS6 like not being able to open PSD's in AE. But nothing where the Dynmaic Link manager would stop working.
I realize this issue is caused by my storgae setup becuase as I stated above, when I create a new win7 user and luanched the CC Apps( After Effects, Premirere Pro, Photoshop). they work fine. ( this is becuase the user profile for the user remains on the C: drive)
Where as my main user for my machine differs, in that the user profile exists on my D: drive ( for sake of capacity )
All of the Apps work fine with the new user and user profile on the C: drive, but this is not really an option for me as the SSD im using will not be able to store my large amount of user files ( documents, downloads, appdata, pictures, etc.. )

JNLPDownload servlet issue when deployed in iPlanet server

Hi all,
I am doing a POC to check how JWS works to launch an applet on a workstation having two different JRE versions (14.2_06 and 1.6.0_01 installed in lower to higher version order)
I deployed the sample application files in iPlanet server 6.0. In the JNLP file, under resources tag, I included a jar file with some version. However JWS is failing to download the file, with an exception (as seen from JNLP servle log file)
JnlpDownloadServlet(4): JnlpResource: JnlpResource[WAR Path: /lib/SampleApplet__V1.1.jar versionId=1.1 name=SampleApplet.jar lastModified=Thu Jan 01 05:30:00 GMT+05:30 1970] returnVersionId=1.1]

The same application when deployed in tomcat server 4.1.32 is working fine.
All the jar file is available in the correct location and I have verified it. After some investigation with JNLP servlet source code, I found that iplanet 6.0 is throwing nullpointer excepton due to null return from following line from com.sun.javaws.servlet.JNLPResource.java file.
_resource = context.getResource(path); // here context is ServletContext and path input is relative path.
Has any one come across this problem in iplanet server? Does getResourcePath always return null in iPlanet server?
I don't want to change code in jnlp-servlet.jar, and it's the best case. Your inputs on this are appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudhakar

Below is our reuirment.
1. We will route the request based on urlprefix, these url prefix can be added and removed at runtime. We want to handle this situation automatically(not by obj conf changes). Also we will chnage the destination of request.
2. We want insert string in the url for our internal purpose.
So we opted for plugin.
BTW: I built the plugin for 32-bit environment.

[SOLVED] Issue when installing many packages

I recently installed arch linux and I remember being a bit worried about something: you know that packages that are being installed might remind you about things that you manually have to do in order to archeive this or that, like for example wireshark will tell you that you should put yourself into the wireshark group to be able to dump as a standard user.
Now, I've seen a lot of those messages for my initial setup that I could not read. For example, when I did pacman -S gnome on the base system, it pulled in a lot of deps and at the same time gave me many of those hints - which basically just flew by (I wasn't smart enough to log a copy of the output of that command).
Does someone have a script that takes my local pacman database, and throws only the hints for all installed packages back to me? Thx

You should be able to find the same output in /var/log/pacman.log

I think that's not possible, since those messages aren't stored in any package metadata directly. Those messages come from scripts that are run pre/post install/upgrade/remove of a package.

Issues when installing Windows XP on a PXI-8108 with a Solid State HDD

Hi,
I have been assisting a client with installing Windows XP onto a PXI-8108 controller. They have replaced the default HDD with a solid-state HD.
We have attempted to run the System Recovery CD. The recovery part works fine, ie. you select Acronis, it unzips all the files to C drive.
However when it gets up to the bit where Win XP Setup starts (after rebooting once the Recovery section completes), we have issues.
It can't find files, ie. dmconfig.dll, gm.dls, etc on the Win XP CD. When it tries to find mfc40u.dll, it came up with an error:
"The file Setup placed on your hard drive is not a valid Win XP System image. If you are installing from a CD, there may be a problem with the Windows XP CD."
We have tried two different recovery CDs, and we even tried just a plain Win XP CD. All had similar issues.
We have tried different SATA settings in the BIOS - both IDE AND AHCI.
It may just be that we have a faulty SSD, however it seemed to work ok when we had it connected to the PXI via USB (with the default HDD still in place). I was able to run diskcheck, which did not bring up any errors. Disk Management showed things were healthy.
So what I would like to know, is if there is any issue with a PXI-8108, and SSDs? We have successfully performed this operation a few months back using the same brand of SDD, but with a PXI-8104.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

This is more than likely a failing disk. SSDs don't always report failures in the same way as a rotating drive. Also, the tools that are helpful with diagnosing rotating drive failures don't always work with SSDs.
From the thread, it sounds like you have another system with this same SSD and it is working properly. Does that system have the same PXI Controller and Chassis?
I have seen these types of errors if the media for the OS installation is corrupt, but it sounds like you have tried different CDs.
I realize you have limited access to this drive, but here are my recommendations:
1) Put the failing SSD in a different system (desktop is preferable), and install a base version of XP. If this fails, RMA the drive, they normally have 3-5 warranties.
2) Run Crystal Mark Info and check for SMART failures:
http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html
3) You can securely erase the SSD, which is not for the faint of heart. This will restore the drive to a new condition. If the drive has a bad cell which is causing data corruption during the OS install, securely erasing the drive will hopefully cause the firmware to map out the bad areas. This is a good tutorial, just ignore that fact that it is targeted at Intel drives.

R5K Sound issues when installing Windows 8.1

Hello everyone
I installed Windows 8.1 Pro as downloaded. I used BCA > USB on my R5K to install Windows.. (Boot Camp drivers via BCA as well). Everything works fine except the sound when using Windows. There is sound, but it all... sounds disturbing, like listening to a radio. Nothing like the sound quality when using OS X, no epic sound effects and crystals clear sound whatsoever. And I think it's not even using all the speakers at the bottom of the iMac when producing the audio. I tried playing with Sound setting in Control Panned, with the audio settings in MPC, VLC, iTunes, re-installed the drivers just to be sure nothing went wrong with the installation and nothing work, I am still getting that "crappy sound quality"...
I am welcome to any suggestions, spend half a day just trying to fix this... Thank you in advance

Issues when installing Hyper-V Platform with 8 network filters running

Hi. This isn't so much a question as a solution in case anyone else has this problem.
I tried to install Hyper-V Platform on Windows 8.1 Pro but it kept undoing changes after 93%.
I had it previously installed on the same hardware so knew there weren't any limitations there. Some forums suggested running "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" followed by "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" but this
made no difference.
Eventually, I looked up a forums that suggested "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters" had to be set if a maximum of 8 filters were in use. So I created a DWORD entry with a value
of 14 (maximum on previous Windows versions) but it still didn't work!
I checked how many networks filter were active with this powershell script:
get-itemproperty hklm:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network | format-list -property MaxNumFilters
$children = get-childitem -path hklm:\system\currentcontrolset\control\network\"{4d36e974-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}" | get-childitem | where-object {$_.PSChildName -eq "Ndi"} | get-itemproperty | where-object {$_.FilterClass} |get-itemproperty -name FilterClass
"Filter Count: " + $children.count
"Filter List: "
$children | foreach-object -process { get-itemproperty -path $_.PSParentPath } | format-list -property Description,PSPath
Still 8 were active! I then read that Windows 8.1 should scale MaxNumFilters automatically so I removed MaxNumFilters from the registry. Finally, I uninstalled my Anti-Virus (Kaspersky in my case) then tried installing Hyper-V platform again and it worked!
After that, I ran the powershell script again and it detected that 9 filters were running. It looks like a bug whereby Windows is not scaling up the MaxNumFilters properly when Hyper-V platform is installed.
This might only be an issue with Kaspersky and/or if exactly 8 filters are running but I imagine there are many more conditions under which this might occur.

Issue when installing xp on a T60

Hi Dudes !
One day, when booting my T60, I got a blue screen; i tried many things to fix this problem, but nothing worked. So i formatted the inside hd (on another PC), deleting the hidden parttion, i set the bios in compatibiltiy (ide) mode and i started to install xp sp2 with my xp CD. It began well, the installator starting to write the xp files on the hd, but when the laptop rebooted, dark screen (just the cursor) and blocked. Why ? What must i do ?
Thanks a lot.
h.v.r.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
In addition to testing the ThinkPad T60 by booting from a Linux Live CD, you might want to try the Linux-based Lenovo Bootable Diagnostics disc. While it is actually designed to test newer ThinkPads than the T60, perhaps it will be able to examine the T60's hardware for errors.

VBScript issue when installing

I get a message when i try to install the new iTunes and it says
iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) Is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and hten install iTunes.
Could sombody please help me, i dont have any Anti-Virus software, and my built in firewall isisnt blocking it.
If you have a solution could you pleas eMail it to me at [email protected] or message me on aim at Dylanx92
Okay, thanks.

Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above:
SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana
